Multilayered Silver-containing Polyurethane-foam (Mepilex Ag) for Tie-over Bolster Fixation of a Skin Graft.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07066254 (A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effect of a Silver-impregnated Antimicrobial Foam Dressing on Surgical Site Infections After Cesarean Delivery), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
Tie-over bolster fixation is the most common method of securing a skin graft. The bolster material can consist of various materials, including sterilized polyurethane foam. Mepilex Ag is a silver-containing polyurethane-foam wound-dressing material that has a broad-spectrum antibiotic effect. The use of a silver-containing polyurethane foam as bolster material in tie-over bolster fixation has not been reported previously. We report here our method of a multilayered silver-containing polyurethane-foam tie-over bolster fixation and its outcomes when used during reconstruction of a relatively small skin defect on the nasal dorsum with a full-thickness skin graft. The skin graft was completely viable, and there were no complications such as infection, hematoma, or necrosis.
